At the Royal Palace in the study's room, two ministers were reporting something to Zhao Lingxin. The leaders of the Judicial Officer and the Internal Audit Bureau were all directed to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, this is a report from Qinghua City. The Internal Audit Bureau received a request for cooperation from the 2nd Division to carry out an internal intervention." Colonel Liao Hong, Minister of the Internal Audit Bureau, submitted a report to Zhao Lingxin.
The Internal Audit Bureau has recorded a large number of secret reports. And reports were destroyed, such as the one that Zhao Lingxin was reading. After this, They will eliminate the document from this world.
"The Internal Audit Bureau has performed very well," Zhao Lingxin nodded from reading the report.
The 2nd Division of the Empire, under the leadership of Major General Li Fengyang. There has been considerable slow progress in the occupation of the southern regions.
Major General Li Fengyang decided to enlist the Ministry of Defense's help to send an elite spy to take down. However, a great spy of the Ministry of Defense, who was involved in an infiltration mission in the eastern city of Tongzhou, was unable to accept the task. Major General Li Fengyang decided to submit a request to the Internal Audit Bureau to intervene.
"Second Brother has ended his life. At the last moment, he was injured by the nobles." Zhao Lingxin recalled his second brother Zhao Wu. The two were not very close. Many nobles took Zhao Wu as their next successor. But after the throne belonged to Zhao Lingxin, Zhao Wu was offended, using the nobles to secretly seize the emperor's supreme power. Zhao Wu maligned him and declared his enemy Zhao Lingxin. In the royal family, blood ties were more light than threads.
Although the second prince died under the internal audit bureau's plan, the whole story resulted from the nobles. They forced the second prince to drink poisonous liquor.
"Your Majesty, they spread the guilt of the Second Prince all over the land. Your Majesty, please watch." Colonel Liao Hong gave Zhao Lingxin an announcement to the nobles.
"These announcements are very disgusting, Full of flattering words. Please recycle this announcement." Zhao Lingxin did not give any value to this announcement and threw it badly. He acts to the statement as if the air never existed in his sight.
"What is the situation in Qinghua City?" Zhao Lingxin asked.
"At this time, Qinghua City was in great confusion. The deadly impact of many high-level individuals This creates disbelief for everyone," Colonel Liao Hong reported. The Inspectorate's agent had sent this information in the hands of Colonel Liao Hong. It can say that Liao Hong is the one who holds the information of the whole land.
After the second prince and ten great nobles' death, causing much distress to the young nobles, They were now like headless dragons, unable to direct any further direction.
Cong Qian was the only large noble that survived. He refused to act according to Pan Zhou's plan to betray. It turned out to be the good fortune of Cong Qian, who could still breathe in this world.
"There is only one great noble left, are Cong Qian, your Majesty, will you order me to kill him?" At this moment, the big fish was left with only Cong Qian, while the remaining small ones could not cause any disturbance. Can only nudge and demand attention
"Leave Cong Qian for now. His status is high among our scholars, don't do anything to him," Zhao Lingxin said.
Zhao Lingxin would have known this famous Cong Qian. When most of them are entirely dead, Zhao Ling Xin no longer thought to wipe out the remnants.
Cong Qian descendants of the Grand Master. Teacher of The origin of the Great Yanhuang Continent's scholars. If he does something violent, Intellectuals across the land will surely rise against it.
Then, Zhao Lingxin suddenly thought of something.
"I remember the report mentioning Pan Zhou as well."
"Yes, Your Highness. This Pan Zhou cooperated with our internal audit office in implementing various plans," replied Colonel Liao Hong.
"Since he's cooperative, he's a loyal dog. We should reward him a little. The Judicial Office has also ignored this person." Zhao Lingxin decided to intervene in the justice process.
"The Judicial Office is ready to follow His orders," Major Qiantong, Minister of the Judicial Office, received the order of Zhao Lingxin.
"So, if the matter is over, we will dismiss it," Zhao Lingxin closed the meeting.
Major General Li Fengyang, who had received an affirmative response to the Bureau of Investigation interference operative, was delighted.
"As an internal audit office, Executed very fast. Commanded to go and move in full force, heading to Qinghua City."
The 2nd Division had headed full force at the command of the general.
The tumultuous Qinghua City, Pan Zhou, and Cong Qian consulted for several hours came to a conclusion. They are ready to surrender to the government. The Second Prince had died, and there were still many nobles who died mysteriously. They don't want to be next. Want to end the war quickly
The nobles drafted a surrender petition, attached with certain conditions, handed over to the 2nd Division for consideration.
They asked Zhao Lingxin to keep their status quo. To maintain the power as usual However, Zhao Lingxin denied a harsh voice. The government wanted to dissolve the feudal power from the Empire. The original capacity of violence has been corroding Dazhou for a long time, and it's time to cleanse it. Zhao Lingxin did not accept the demands of the nobles. The government immediately sent a warning, asking for surrender.
Causing the nobles to surrender unconditionally to save their lives, They have to go to court for rebellion against the Empire, contrary to Article 1 of the Constitution. That sovereignty belongs only to the emperor. However, only Pan Zhou knew that only he would be safe from this consideration.
The nobles had no choice but to send a message of unconditional surrender. Open the way for the 2nd Division to occupy the South without any obstacles. In just ten days, the 2nd Division had occupied the major areas of the South, including Qinghua City.
The 2nd Division has announced the repeal of the old law. To turn to the new rule of the Empire that the Cabinet drafted, Send people to publish the new law to take effect. The military publicized and distributed a book written about the Imperial Constitution.
Qinghua City was filled with many intellectuals. The city was filled with many literate people. Make them able to understand the new law and the constitution with ease.
The 2nd Division quickly took control of the southern affairs, ordering nobles and officers from their positions. Ready to allow military personnel to enter active duty until after an order from the Cabinet
The nobles have been arrested. Major General Li Fengyang ordered to take care of the safety of these people. The nobles were sent for trial in the capital. If the court ruled guilty, they would be wholly confiscated from the family's property. They can only pray for the court to have mercy, restrain, and not condemn harsh judgment.
The 2nd Brigade spent a total of 52 days to occupy the South entirely. Restore the central authority. The northern and southern regions of the Empire are restored as one.
It took the imperial army less than two months since the announcement of the unification plan. It was able to gather 65 percent of the area back in Zhao Lingxin's hands again. Territory increased considerably, creating administrative burdens on the government. As a result, there was another expansion of the civil servants by Zhao Lingxin's system to summon personnel from the system.
The 2nd Division was stationed in the South. Placing soldiers in the districts to keep the peace, including building defense lines along the border, Major General Li Fengyang was appointed as the Southern Army's official commander.
At this time, only one eastern region has not yet been reunited with the central area. All eyes were swiftly staring at Dongzhou City.
